Me too...well not in original boxes but I do have one with monitor
(TV+modulator?) disk drives, cassette deck,software,CPM 3 (?) etc that I
got for eqiv US$12. The only thing is that it intermittantly resets itsself
and I have not had a chance to look at ti since I got the thing,

I also got
a set of boards from a cromenco s100 system for nothing :-)
2 TRS80 model 3s (which I can hopefully get 1 working) $0
1 TRS80 model 4P (Repaired phase locked loop circuit in video) $0
1 Sinclair Z88 with MacLink ROM installed $4
1 Sinclair ZX 81 not going $0
2 Sinclair QL's with 1 mono monitor $0
1 Apple ][e with drives and UHF TV/Monitor $9
1 Kaypro 4 a couple of years back for $30
1 Kaypro 10 (fitted new HD ) for $0
1 ALTOS 8088 Unix based system supposedly in working condition (yet to try) $20
1 IBM PC $0
1 IBM XT $0
1 VT100 terminal $0

and soon to arrive is
2 TRS80 model 1
1 TRS80 model 3
1 TRS80 model 4D
1 Dicksmith Systems 80
1 Amstrad 464
1 Amstrad PCW8256

and I'm on the scent of
Apple Lisa
Amstrad PC Clone
Amstrad monitor (suits the 464/664/6128)
Commodore 64
Commodore PET
Atari 800
Sinclair spectrum
Sinclair ZX80 (kit set..maybe unbuilt !)
PDP 11 (model unknown)
Microvax (dead PSU)

However I would like to acquire
Jupiter Ace (forth based machine)
Commodore SX64
Any Bondwell CPM machines

Cheers and good hunting
